ART: California Hotel in Highland Park (no, not Hotel California) has been up and running since October and it has so far housed eight East Coast artists during their sojourns on the Best Coast. Each artist left the room a little different than they did before, and now the hotel is going to throw a hotel party from 7 to 10pm, featuring a performance by Spaceship Aloha at 8pm. For more info on the project and the party, visit Public Fiction's website.
MUSIC: Tonight Part-time Punks Show at The Echo will be featuring a line-up of "femme-fronted synth sounds." Soft Metals, Animal Bodies and Feathers will be playing starting at 10pm. For more info, check out the The Echo's website or the event's Facebook page.
FILM: It's the 30th anniversary of the Raiders of the Last Ark, so why not use the anniversaries (that come up every five years or so) as an excuse to see the blockbuster on the big screen? The Egyptian Theatre will be showing the movie at 7:30pm. For tickets, visit the theater's website.
